“Delicious food and great service. You have the option of obviously taking out or eating in their patio area. They do have TVs but hoping they show Dodger and Laker games in the future. Our server Rawan was awesome. They also have hookah with various flavors available here.“

“Garden Salad and request to add the grilled salmon.“

“The food was like going to a hig-hend restaurant, without the high-end price. If you want real food eat here. I am not one to rate places, but this one I just had to give it 5 stars. Just be patient with the cook it's not fast food and he takes his time to make it special. Authentic mediterranean if I ever had it.“

“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish\. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and everything we ordered was on point\. The service was just as impressive — everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome\.

The hookah was great, the atmosphere was perfect, and you can tell they really care about the overall experience, not just the food\. Honestly, there wasn’t one thing I could complain about\. Great food, great service, great hookah, and a great vibe all around\.

Definitely one of those places you leave already thinking about when you’re coming back\. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place with amazing food, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere\. 10/10\.“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“My family was traveling from Arizona to California and had the incredibly good fortune of finding Damasquino Mediterranean Restaurant. My son's a vegetarian and I'm essentially carnivore. We both were over the moon happy with the meals prepared by the owner. I am not kidding when I say don't walk to this restaurant - RUN. The food is out of this world. It's not a fancy sit down, but it's a comfy homey feeling with chairs and tables outside. The food is authentic in every way. The owner is one of the most kind, gracious hosts you will find. His one concern, and his staff all have the same attitude, is your happiness and satisfaction. Well it's an easy task for him, as the food is the best mediterranean food you will find without traveling to the middle east...and even then....I don't think you could find food as flavorful. Give them a try and you can thank me later. I'm literally checking my business calendar to see when my travels take me back to SoCal so I can go to Damasquino Mediterranean Restaurant again.“

“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!“

“Great food and great service!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a very long time.“

“🎉Amarion 📍that Harrisa BBQ pita chip wCrazyfeta&garlic dressing omg woe is me • I was riding the train 🚉 fell asleep ℹ️sleeper car🧳 my feta/garlic dressing spilled all over my pajamas 👖 👀 I almost cried 🥹 SMH all the delicious dipping sauce 🫠 that was almost the most delicious chip snack/dip combo I’ve ever had.“

“Even though Ayman and his team were extremely busy in the kitchen, we never once felt ignored. The rest of the family stepped in and made us feel so welcome and taken care of.

Their son was very kind and polite, and the girls were super sweet and hospitable.I asked for a sample of the stuffed grape leaves because so many places sell the canned ones, but here they actually make them homemade, yummy
They were so delicious that I completely forgot about the plate she handed me and just ate them right away 😂

Kudos to this place and the whole family! I had been away for quite some time and recently came back, and I’m so happy to see that the quality and hospitality have never changed. Highly recommended!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“I've been searching for really good stuffed grape leaves since a former co-worker brought some of her home made dolma at work about 8 years ago... I've had some hits (mostly misses), but none compared to the one she made... now this... the search is over. Happy palate!😊 It's my first time here. What can I say? As soon as I entered the place, I can smell good things baking and cooking. The owner showed me trays of fresh baked pastries/pies (spinach, meat & cheese) as he took them out straight from the oven. Everything looked delicious. The service was great. I ordered to go and the owner gave me a sample of the Cheese Burak (Cheese Pie) to eat on the go. I started driving off and as soon as I took my first bite I regretted immediately why I did not order that.Everything we ordered were so flavorful and delicious. They also have the best Hummus. So I will definitely go back to this place. 😊“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“We ordered the spicy hummus, garlic fries, beef shawarma, babakenush?, and cauliflower. My friend saw the baclava and had to try it. So we started with desser. The pistachio was very crispy and chewy and was my friends favorite. The walnut was sweet and chewy which was my favorite. Everything was absolutely delicious! The spicy hummus had a little kick at the beginning but as we ate we didn't taste the kick anymore. The cauliflower is lightly fried and so freaking delicious! I ate it by itself or with some hummus. My friend ate it with the babakanush and some cauliflower sauce and was in love. I tried her babakanush. I don't like eggplant but this was really delicious! Had a lovely garlic flavor that was slightly addicting. The garlic fries was just fries sprinkled with garlic powder but dipped it in the hummus and it was good. The pitas were really good too. I could've eaten more if I wasn't so full. But the beef shawarma was freaking AMAZING!!!!! We both said this was the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. I said no tomatoes to my beef shawarma which I'm glad I did. The flavor was absolutely amazing without it. Definitely 10/10 no complaints at all. And service was awesome too! So kind, friendly, and funny. I can't wait to come back again!“

“I ordered takeout and was happily surprised! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious! It did take about 25 minutes for my order, so plan ahead and order online through their website. The ladies working were very kind and attentive. Will be back to try more of their dishes!“
